    L’archet Morizot Frères « C. BAILLY » ~1950 en détail

    The wand and the head

    La baguette de cet archet est plutôt fougueuse avec ce beau pernambouc flammé qui la compose. Elle est marquée de la signature commerciale « PERELLI » au dessus de la hausse.

    The head is rather pretty and elegant, even if the chamfers are perhaps slightly lacking in assurance.

    The knob and mechanism

    The knob is solid nickel silver, open at the back and with a mother-of-pearl grain. It shows very little wear. The screw and the entire mechanism are original and show no signs of weakness.

    The rise

    The black/brown marbled ebony frog is fully mounted in nickel silver. It is in excellent condition.

    The game

    With its light weight and near-perfect balance, this is a delicate bow that will suit musicians who know how to use bows with velocity rather than mass.

    If necessary, an adjustment will be made to adapt the bow to your slightest needs.

    Les archetiers Morizot Frères

    The MORIZOT brothers are all sons of Louis Joseph MORIZOT, who were trained by their father and succeeded him by joining forces in Mirecourt in 1937. As their work was essentially cooperative, they each specialized in one part of the manufacturing process, in order to optimize production.

    Here we find :

    • Paul Charles, « le chef » qui est à la fois comptable, receptionniste et qui s’occupe des hausses à l’établi.
    • Louis Gabriel, « le pompier » qui réalise les archets de contrebasse et les hausses.
    • André Auguste is in charge of premium bows, silver and gold.
    • Paul Georges, who takes care of finishing and assembling the bows.
    • Marcel Louis « Le petit vieux » qui dégrossit les baguettes de deuxième ordre.

    As a result, the workshop is known to produce 5 to 6 bows a day in the post-war period. A considerable output. The workshop went into decline from 1955 onwards, gradually succumbing like the rest of the Mirecurtian industry.

    These highly productive craftsmen were the master trainers of the great bow makers of the pivotal twentieth century, and probably shaped the future of the French bow-making revival of the 1970s and 80s.
